Ok... I just realized that 3+ years ago this was among my selections in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should have included a comment about why. So I've been back over the last 1600+ posts to find my choices and make amends for my omission. Here's my belated comment:
I'm really glad that I took the time to go back and see my earlier choices. This remains as striking as the first time I saw it - gave it an 8 in the challenge. The color palette and fine detail really grab my attention. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo.
as weird as it seems, this reminds me of melting chocolate; also magma.
I think a lot of people will say "lava", but they'd be wrong, lava is subterranean in nature. ;p
